Chapter 985 Kingdom Garrison Alliance
Chapter 985 Kingdom Garrison Alliance
With the five of them working together, especially with the legendary mage Lyfia present, they could easily break through the remaining small formations and then let the orc warriors take control of the situation.
Seeing that the situation was beyond saving, some officers and soldiers chose to surrender.
Because the barbarian king and other tribal leaders had been instructed in detail, they were able to maintain control of the situation after the people of Engra Kingdom surrendered, preventing their orc warriors from committing indiscriminate killing.
While clearing out the enemy, Ye Rong and his men headed towards Chamo and Sfeld, the two cities furthest from the Engla garrison.
In both places, their commanders have already been captured, and even if they were replenished, they would not be able to exert their full strength now.
After defeating those two, only Komo and Girujiva will remain.
The most troublesome of the five kingdoms should be the Kingdom of Como, which is the most elite among them in terms of both national strength and military personnel.
However, given the current situation, barring any mistakes, the Kingdom of Como may become the trapped beast.
When Ye Rong led the Great Wall Vanguard Army to attack the Chamo Kingdom's garrison, an unexpected situation arose.
At some point, the Kingdom of Chamo actually allied with the Kingdom of Komo.
Looking at the Como Kingdom's military flag flying high in front of him, Ye Rong frowned and said:
"It seems that not all the enemies are stupid; they have actually joined forces at this time."
Fortunately, His Majesty is here, and the Great Wall has isolated the northern border from the outside world. Otherwise, if they had only held out for a few days like this, enemy reinforcements would probably have arrived by now.
"General Ye Rong, since this place is so difficult to conquer, how about we change our route to Sfield?"
Gust suggested at this point.
Ye Rong waved his hand and said:
"No need, I'm sure Sfeld has already joined forces with Girujiva."
As Ye Rong had expected, the Great Wall Army's scouts soon reported that Girujiva and Sfield had joined forces.
"This is my mistake of not gathering information in a timely manner."
At this moment, the gloomy man in charge of intelligence spoke up with remorse.
Ye Rong waved his hand and said:
"There's no question of error or not. Unless there were spies infiltrating the camp long ago, it would be impossible for us to find out anything about such a large camp."
"And since they insist on defending together, let them defend. We'll change course and sweep across the entire northern border, letting them taste what we did before, and completely turn into two isolated armies."
Then Ye Rong summoned the messenger and said:
"Pass on my orders: the army, in units of companies, along with the orc troops behind them, shall begin to disperse throughout the entire northern territory to conduct a sweep. Anyone who does not surrender shall be killed."
"At the same time, take this news back to His Majesty."
As Ye Rong's order was relayed, the 300,000-strong Great Wall Vanguard began to break into smaller units. At the same time, the orc warriors who followed behind, upon hearing the military order, also hurriedly began to join other Great Wall Army squads.
Because in their view, this sweep was not about fighting a war, but about collecting supplies.
Although the clan chief had said beforehand that all spoils of war should be handed over, after that, supplies would still be distributed to them to help them get through the winter.
Moreover, keeping one or two things during this process is probably not a big deal.
So the commander of the Como Kingdom's Northern Army, who was on high alert in the military camp, witnessed this bizarre scene.
The Great Wall army on the opposite side dispersed their formation, and then a large group of orcs surged in. Then, the opposite side became like a vegetable market, with people shouting loudly about forming teams.
"General, I see that the Great Wall Army on the other side is currently in disarray. This is the perfect opportunity for us to launch an attack and rout them."
At this moment, the one speaking to the commander of the northern army of the Kingdom of Como was the deputy commander of the northern army of the Kingdom of Chamo. He hated the Great Wall Army to the core. If the Great Wall Army hadn't captured their commander, why would they have to be subordinate to the commander of the Kingdom of Como?
But the commander of the northern army of the Kingdom of Como waved his hand and said:
"Don't be fooled by appearances. What we need to do now is to be like a nail driven into this place."
The situation here has been reported to the capital. Our allied forces, comprised of several kingdoms, will arrive soon. Then, with an attack from both inside and outside, the Great Wall Army and those bastards will be doomed.
The commander of the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Como was right to think that way, but he never expected that the Great Wall would be controlled. Now the northern border was isolated from the outside world by the Great Wall, and the kingdom's allied forces could not break in.
Before long, the army outside dispersed to various parts of the northern border on its own.
Seeing this situation, the commander of the northern army of the Kingdom of Komo really considered whether to launch an attack, but the orc army that followed made him give up the idea.
To be honest, after thousands of years of development, the human race is no longer afraid of this million-strong orc army.
The only thing they fear is that they won't be able to defeat the orc army in a short time, and then the Great Wall Army will launch a counterattack, which would definitely break their formation.
Looking at the still calm enemy camp, Ye Rong couldn't help but smile.
It can be said that since the start of the battle, although the alliance between the Kingdom of Komo and others has been somewhat unexpected, such an alliance has not had any impact on the objectives of the battle.
At this point, Ye Rong could say that the main objectives of this battle had been achieved.
The threat posed by the garrisons of the five kingdoms to the Great Wall Army has been resolved, and the North will be reclaimed in the foreseeable future.
"General Ye Rong, is this all there is to it?"
Gust looked at the enemy camp in front of him and then asked.
"It's over. Our campaign objective has been achieved. As for those two turtle shells, we'll just have to coerce and entice them from now on."
The probability of a major battle in the North will decrease over time.
Ye Rong knew very well that if these two enemy camps had not launched an attack yet, the chances of launching an attack later would be even smaller.
Because these five countries were originally in competition with each other, their alliance was merely for self-preservation.
As time goes on, their internal problems will surface first, especially given the current imbalance of power between the two sides.
Meanwhile, on the Great Wall Army side, there is still His Majesty Chen Cheng, who holds the title of Emperor of the Empire. As long as they are persuaded of the greater good, these are all elite troops from good families, and their minds will naturally waver.
As the saying goes, none of the five kingdoms are currently outstanding, so they still have to pretend to be virtuous while being prostitutes.
The archway they erected was an empire.
Therefore, when it comes to the issue of Chen Cheng, the emperor of the empire, they at most avoid the topic and would never smear the emperor.
In this situation, it would be fine if they were in a strong position, but now that they are surrounded, this gives Chen Cheng an opportunity to divide and weaken them.
This is similar to the rebellions of feudal lords in ancient times. They would never speak ill of the emperor, but would instead use the pretext of "purging the court of corrupt officials" to justify their actions.
When they are the dominant party, they can sweep through everything in their path and even eventually overthrow the dynasty.
However, when they show signs of weakness, it is very simple for the emperor to dismantle their power; all it takes is an imperial edict that does not punish the lower-ranking soldiers for their rebellion.
Because no soldier would ever think of rebelling against the emperor, risking the punishment of having their entire family executed.
